Fire Victim Needs Your Help

Early on Monday morning, a fire erupted in San Ignacio Town, catching Juan Tzib and his family off guard as they slept in their residence on Rodriguez Street. The fire originated in a “back room” within the yard, rapidly spreading and engulfing the property, leaving the family unable to salvage any belongings. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported. But the Tzib family lost everything to a fire they believe was intentionally set.

 

Juan Tzib, Fire Victim

“So I closed the gas tank. I couldn’t find the adjustable tool to  unscrew it. So I run from my machete and I cut the hose.  This is a tank that is of 22 gallons, almost two three-quarters  full.  And I can tell you, I cannot tell you how I drug that time  to the roadside, which is about roughly about  50 feet away.  I guess that’s what helped  in for the blaze not to get worse but at that time the fire was already coming into the house,. Well, everybody ran out, so  we couldn’t  save nothing, nothing at all. It is being confirmed by many people that  I guess they saw something or know something or have heard something  about it. That’s what they’re saying that is, is that guy that did it  and I’ll tell you the truth  when that fire started and I was on the roadside watching it deeply in my heart,  I believe it was him. Nothing takes that away from me that it was him.  And like I said, people are confirming to me that it was him.”
